Self Timer... alot of fun
Return to Discussionsall my pics are taken by me using my self timer.. I enjoy it, but just wish I could set my timer a little bit longer but it only has two settings... I certainly do enjoy it though..eventurally ill have to invest in a much better camera. though my cheap walmart camera has treated me well.. lol
About 80% of my pics on here are selfies. My camera has a few timer options up to 20 seconds, and multiple shots. I usually use 20 seconds and five shots, allowing a few different poses. But most of my favorites photos are ones that somebody else took.
Yup, the self timer on my phone camera is great. 10 seconds max also. Sometimes so much easier to use the self timer than to get someone to take one for you. But there are instances where another person taking the photo is needed to get a good shot.
If you have an Android phone, there's an app called "Open Camera" that has settings of up to 5 minutes for delay. It can also take multiple photos with settable number of photos and delay between photos. For World Naked Gardening Day, I aimed it over my garden and set it to take 60 photos with a 2 minute delay between photos. Over the 2 hours I got a lot of nice, natural photos because I was just working and had no idea when the pictures were being taken.
That is a cool idea, I always like to see candid or natural shots like you describe, mine are pretty much posed when they're selfies. Thanks for the info on the app.
We too love the self timer feature of digital camera or mobile phone. We have a small tripod stand. We set the camera n then stand in the frame. Quite many times it just two of us nude at some holiday place and we can click both of us in frame.
